Yes that is the name. But bafflingly to me, almost zero of my coworkers seemed to be aware of it. They would just get the seemly weird orders from above and would execute them, without figuring out the end goal, and this does result into so

I worked on BMW infotainment for a time. My opinions are my own obviously, I don't even work at BMW anymore. So, when I was working, I found the decisions regarding the infotainment mind boggling, to me they made zero sense, until I fo

I am in Portugal right now. You know something we don’t have often here? Garages. For example in my neighborhood most cars are parallel parked, people are living in centuries old houses converted into high density condos, there are no garag

I used to manage the Google Ads account of a business I had in the past. Google Support would call me all the time, and then first thing they would do is ask me to open the interface and repeat some code or another.

There are some effects that notoriously work only on rather specific combinations of screens AND cables. Those look horrible on emulators. Usually it is effects involving transparency, some games for example literally rendered some things o

I had a music teacher that insisted analog recordings were different. One day she said there is a simple way to prove it. Certain stringed instruments have the string move on their own to the correct note if you put them near a source of si

I got very sad when my CRT monitor died. I was using a Radeon RX 380X, part of the reason is that it was one of the few cards to still have analog output. Then I went and played lots of recent games in lower resolution, but could turn on lo
